When I was bodybuilding, I could squat 220 lbs (I'm not a guy). Now I just wrestle with horses. Now, my back is wrecked, so I am a true weenie. My bark is worse than my bite, and I sold my last motorcycle 11 years ago. I guess I'm retiring to be able to walk in my later years.
I did do the firewalking thing about 13 years ago. It was the most exhilarating thing I have ever done in my entire life. It is amazing, also, that I do not think of it on a regular basis anymore. When I emerged from the coals the first time over, I felt as if I could do anything. And yes, I do still believe that on most days.
I went paragliding (tandem) in Colorado once. I would love to do it solo, flying is such a free feeling.
And I like power tools.

Well, since we're on the subject of food and drink, I once drank about 20 glasses of water during a water-drinking contest with some cousins. Then I threw up.
I once drank 17 glasses of wine in a night without throwing up ;-) |

I can lift a newly-bent 520-lb motorbike out of a muddy ditch in the pouring rain and ride it, the remaining 20 miles home, with a fractured shoulder, so long as there's a stop at the emergency room on the way. But it ain't something to be proud of...

I once slipped on a rock while casting a fishing line and snagged two tines of a treble hook through the scalp on the back of my head. I removed them with a pocket knife and a pair of needle nosed pliers.

The most fascinating thing about this thread is that it shows the myriad interpretations of "tough."
I'm not that tough, but for some reason people seem to think I am.

I am thin and amazingly clumsy, I have never played any sport. I was a very serious hiker/climber at one point and did a through-hike of the Appalachian Trail in 1980 and almost got to the top of Mount Aconcagua in 1986. Now I am just another middle-aged guy with a mortgage and no time to excercise.

I was in a bullfight once. The bull won.
I also once cut off my own finger. This was an accident.
I should otherwise note that the last time I cried was watching Dr. Phil today. The last time I got a cold I called everyone I knew to complain.

Well...my father (temporarily) reattached it and drove me to the hospital. Amazingly, it now resides where it belongs, altho is a bit crooked. Appropriately, it is the middle finger.

I've longed to do the through-hike since I was a kid. I am a Catskill 3500 member. I doubt I will ever be able to do the AT. |

I've had to knock my knee cap back into place (soccer).
I once lifted a cane press off a mule's face (caused by another, stupid-er mule).
Cut off a portion of my left index finger on a tablesaw and drove myself to the doctor.
I have tattoos.
Once broke every toe on my right foot after my canoe was sucked into a hydraulic and my foot got lodged between some rocks ... I refused to go to the hospital and now have a very knuckle-y foot.
I pedal through serious hills on 4.
I once drank a fifth of Jager - in one night.

When you pissed yourself in Frankfurt and got syph down in Cologne
And you heard the rattling death trains as you lay there all alone
Frank Ryan bought you whiskey in a brothel in Madrid
And you decked some fvcking blackshirt who was cursing all the Yids.
